Testing the fix released for Bug #1519766 (and likely #1478693) I can reliably freeze the camera-app (v. 3.0.0.616) on rc-proposed Arale r227 by taking HDR images.
Freeze happens around the 3rd or 4th shot of the same subject as reported in Bug #1519766. HDR shots of shaded lamp in semi-dark room (taking up 3/4 of view) trigger freeze on 4/5th shot. HDR shots of lamp on small table at distance in semi-dark room do not reliably trigger freeze. Normal shots do not trigger freeze, with or without zoom AFAIKS. Freeze comprises either the viewfinder holding the image of the attempted capture and app being no longer responsive and needing to be closed. Re-opening produces "Cannot access camera" error message screen, with access permission or some other error as cause. Reboot needed to regain camera function. Other freeze seen was a return of the viewfinder to a dark screen, and the same error message screen appearing. Original reporter did not mention HDR, so I defer to better judgement as to where this bug belongs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1475895 Title: Camera froze taking picture and would no longer show a preview To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1475895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
